The House at Watch Hill by Karen Marie Moning

Watch Hill · Book 1

The house is beautiful. The house is monstrous. And it wants her.

After her mother's sudden death, Zo Grey receives an inheritance from a relative she's never met - and travels to Divinity, Louisiana, to claim it. Watch Hill is a sprawling mansion that shifts like it's alive, with staircases that lead nowhere, doors that vanish, and a red-eyed owl that watches her sleep.

To claim her fortune, she must survive three years within its shadowed halls. But the longer she stays, the more she realises the house isn't just cursed - it's connected to her in ways she never imagined.

And then there's the brooding Scottish groundskeeper whose presence feels like both a warning and a lure.
